Thy’re both cats aren’t they?
Incredible images, and the first looks real brainy :lol:
(I have a huge photo library of sphynx cats if interested…)
Nice work!
Chris
In this case it’s a true honor. Same here about your work dude 
-Kris
Well, thanks again everyone for the comments, I appreciate them all
Seb: I chose this type of cat on purpose so people wouldnt tell me to give him hair! 
Thanks, love your work!
madmac: thanks again man
dragon-g: thats too bad I felt indifferent toward the Sphynx before I started this, and now I have a genuine fascination with them. I love the way their skin bunches and stretches
Stefan-Morrell: Thanks! I might add a little hair like the kind that does exist on them, barring any complications I might run into I’m going to rework that cheek too, somehow that slipped past me. Good eye!
rt_wolfenstein: I think a lot of it will disappear with the skin shader, though sometimes I like to go a little overboard Thanks
Mr Monster: Thanks! I tried to take special care with the different types of wrinkles over the body and head, the stretching and the way the loose skin bunches at certain points. You seem to have a great eye for all that Glad you like it
FHawk: Thanks man! by the way I think you should post some of your work, unless I am confusing you with another flying hawk
ncollings: Wow, I can’t believe you would remember that old thing! Thanks a bunch, and my website might be back up soon too, if I can ever get around to it
Neville: truly an honor to be your top row neighbor! I’m glad there seems to be a few of us around here with a sphynx fascination. I had scoured the entire internet and some books amassing every sphynx photo I could find, somehow I missed these two! Thanks, your comments mean a lot, and the pics too
stimpack: haha… I will never be talented nor intelligent enough to out-design nature. Thanks!
antropus: Well, right back at ya Looks like I’ll be spending another night crying myself to sleep after seeing your updated Sophia
And now… I’ve been a little busy and I havn’t been able to start rigging and texturing this poor little cat. In fact I wish I could divide the body again because there are some areas id really love to work on, but it kills my computer at that poly count 
I did jam her head onto her body though if anybody was wondering what she looked like in one piece Enjoy this sorta non-update
beautiful cat!
love the details you’ve got. looks very natural!
Love it! Jamie
quoted for agreement.
Beautiful work on the hardest thing to recreate: natural forms. Keep it up buddy.

uggly cat, nice model
Thanks guys! And javalabala I disagree, they are beautiful creatures Here’s an update on the texture, where I left off the other day. Just diffuse on an sss shader right now
Nice!
Will you push the shiness on hears, nose and tooth?
Its looks already great for a Wip!
Woooh, real nice! The teeth and tongue will be updated soon? Maybe hair?
Great job!
thats just terrifyingly good. just the head was downright incredible, but that body aswell… you have a insanely good eye for how the skin wraps around the muscles as proven here. the way it sags on the front legs is particularly convincing. pretty hard for the texturing to live up to the modeling quality, but it looks really great from where I’m standing! MEEEOOOW!
Really beautiful work, metric
BTW: Meant to upload these sphynx images for you a while back, but might be as good as useless given the excellence of your modeling and texturing so far

Wow, great work 
That’s pretty amazing!!!
Why did you cut the head of the poor thing!!!
:lol:
that’s Realistic!

Glad to see you continuing on with this piece, and congrats on the well deserved TOP ROW spot!
The coloring is looking very nice at this point. The eyes color looks good, as does the variation in the coloring in the face, and choice of colors for the ears.
I always wanted to get one of these cats! Besides being amazingly interisting, as they seem such a natural handy reference for fleshy wrinkles and the way skin behaves.
Are you dropping him into Projection Master to paint and reworking in Photoshop? Looking good METRIC!!!
I am happy to see you continuing this piece, and to see this latest updated post with the coloring.
BTW. Glad to see your a fan of Jordus’, (saw something on your site). I had sushi with him when I was out in LA.
Keep on this one. It will be worth the effort. Your very talented.

Nice texturing, very likely eyes… However I find it very cartoonish in its expression but that’s normal and maybe in the color of the ears, I think it might be a bit too bright
The textured head look beautiful! very nice work metric!
Thanks everyone! Now to answer the questions…
seb: thanks man, I’ll definitely be painting a spec map, for now I just have the specular turned down a lot because I didn’t want it to look too shiny
Bas Mazur: yeah I’ll be updating those soon, in fact I havn’t really even worked on the mouth or lips yet either… those are coming
Whistler: thanks! hopefully my treatment of the rest of the cat turns out well
atwooki: thanks!! I remember you mentioning those pictures but then I never saw them posted. Suprisingly, I had none of those pics already! And I can definitely still use them, they are great. I find myself making adjustments throughout the whole process, even during texturing
Mr. Monster: thanks, that means a lot! I am indeed painting it almost entirely in Zbrush using projection master, and occassionally using ZappLink to clone out artifacts in photoshop. oh, and I am very jealous… I’d give my left arm to have sushi with Jordu I’ll definitely be following through with this project to completion!
rtwolfenstein: haha… ok I’ll admit that I found his ‘default’ expression rather comical too. When he’s rigged he will no longer look so suprised! And you are probably right about his ears. I will be adjusting the SSS skin shader when I paint the other maps for it soon
Really realistic work!
Hi
Nice Sphinx Cat!
I also did one - checkout the turnaround in my demoreel

I always use the Zack Petroc approach; working between Maya and ZBrush to create an organised mesh + posing + texturing
